Should women be running scared? That's the question recently addressed on The Doctors. The answer? No! Take your safety into your own hands. With the right tools, you can minimize your safety risk.
Women's Health fitness director Jen Ator stoopped by to discuss safety tips and tools. She encourages runners to...
- Keep headphone volume low, leave one earbud out or skip music altogether
- Vary their routes - don't become predictable to shady characters
- Stay in well-lit areas
- Think ahead: "How would I handle it if that person approached me?"
She also showcased some safety tools, including two industry-leading personal alarms from SABRE.
